I remember the moment I decided I was going to follow this path. It was several years ago. I had been taking classes in recording for a few months, and had just tackled my first 4-song EP on my own (the recordings themselves weren't that great, but I was proud), and had fallen in love with the recording process. I started researching female producers to seek out a role model, and was smacked in the face with the reality that women only make up approximately 3% of the industry. I immediately texted my parents and said, "alright, that's it! I'm going to be a producer."

Since then, I haven't looked back or questioned my path. I love what I do, and cannot imagine doing anything else. Thankfully, through networks like SoundGirls and Women's Audio Mission, the numbers, albeit slowly, are growing steadily. It's only a matter of time.
